Isn’t it interesting that many of these same Correspondences have been retained in the Christian celebration of easter. Not only have they been retained, but they have taken on new and meaningful symbolism.
Even the name of the Holiday: Eostre’s Day and Easter Day
Easter bunnies and colored eggs including the Pastel Colours:
Pink, Yellow, Grass Green, Robin’s Egg Blue
I for one am thankful that pagan holiday which was as lust oriented as was the Vernal Equinox could have been apropiated to such an important spiritual purpose.
